Noting down anything STRANGE as I watch:
-- STRANGE that the movie opens with credits running over random shots of a city at night and an unseen person driving a blue car... then it cuts to "ONE YEAR AGO"... Nothing was established or shown during those opening credits so why didn't the movie just start at 1 year ago?
-- So no mystery as to whether or not she took the baby, the movie must be about "Why?" then.
-- STRANGE how she remembers every single thing in her life down to the lock code for her door and security code for the alarm, but not whether she experienced a miscarriage or gave birth, or raised a child for 3 months or picked one up a week ago?
-- STRANGE, lots of small world coincidences in this metropolitan city. The wife gets amnesia from a car accident on the same corner her husband died a year earlier from his accident involving a girl that used to be friends with her in high school until her brother pumped and dumped her... but hold on, the brother had been having a secret affair with that same girl during the time she was involved with the accident that killed his sister's husband (who was also his best friend)... And now the wife has her baby... who may in actuality be her brother's baby.
-- STRANGE that she seems to remember her old high school friend perfectly fine except earlier in her V. O. narration she said that she didn't know her (when her brother was watching the couple on the news video).
-- STRANGE how the neurotic psychotic husband seems to have so much free time on his hands to micromanage and abuse his wife when he's not out attempting murders. Isn't he supposed to be a surgeon? Aren't doctors like notoriously busy. Also you'd think he'd be more cautious about hurting his hands with all of that abuse he's dishing out.
*** vague SLIGHT SPOILER-ish, maybe ***
Well I guess the ending answers why some of those coincidences happened since that street corner ended up being a sort of nexus point for everyone involved. So those coincidences become more like conveniences then.
-- STRANGE, still doesn't explain how a certain someone also ended up on that same corner ahead of everyone when they were the last one to leave and had no idea where anyone was going, or that THAT corner was where people's paths would converge, or that the moving truck had any connection what-so-ever with anything, or why this person even stood in the path of the one vehicle when they were chasing after another one...
How could this person have known they wouldn't've been run over?
And STRANGER, still.
So... I don't really feel any which way about the movie. I thought the actor (Clayton James) who played the psychotic husband was extremely effective in conveying a constant unnerving presence in every scene he is in. The character may be a bit too one-dimensional with no nuance to his emotions, but he really nails it at being intimidating.
Also a part towards the end did make me laugh out loud -- when a woman just starts immediately firing a gun wildly to kill someone without any further context before jumping straight into committing to murder. Good thing for her she was a lousy shot.
